हेतुनापि न मुह्यन्ति किं नु हेतुं विनोत्तमाः ॥ २४ ॥

vijñātalokasthitayo mune dṛṣṭaparāvarāḥ |
hetunāpi na muhyanti kiṃ nu hetuṃ vinottamāḥ || 24 ||

"The sages"said he, "are acquainted with the laws of nature, and know the past and future as present before them. They are never moved even with a motive to anything, and are far from being moved without a cause."
